Above The Beaten Track

“Unquestionably one of the city’s most enjoyable, and reassuring displays of the sort of inventive, thrilling creativity you only get from the ground up”
- SevenStreets

Established in 2008, Above the Beaten Track is a celebration of Liverpool’s and Merseyside’s grass roots scene, DJs, artists, traders, makers and audio visual extravaganzas.

Now in it's eighth year, the festival re-located to the Bluecoat in 2010 to cope with growing demand. Originally conceived to celebrate the range of diverse songwriters in the city, it has since expanded to reflect the full range of musicians, DJs, artists and makers of Liverpool to provide a fully immersive cultural experience.

Bringing the Bluecoat's historic building alive, each room will house different aspects of the underground cultural scene, including two stages of live music, poetry, participatory events and live art.

Underpinned by a strong philosophy of inclusion, the free festival's intention is to uncover the best of Liverpool’s acoustic underground. Above The Beaten Track prides itself on being a festival for Liverpool, celebrating its original and emerging talent.
